God comes up to you and says: "This isn't going to surprise you, but you're going to die. But, unlike most people I AM going to give you a choice such that I will tell you when you are going to die. Specifically, you will be told before hand. You can chose a minute, hour, day, week or whatever time period you wish to be told as advance warning of your upcoming death".

Question: What time period would you chose?

Now.
 
You don't get to pick the time you die ... you pick how much advance warning you get. Now, you can pick NONE if that is what you mean. Maybe my question wasn't phrased well.... I tweaked it

My options are:
1) a minute
2) a hour
3) a day
4) a week
5) whatever

I think I'd rather not know (option 5). I try to live my life as if every day is my last.

Two months to get my earthly affairs in order.
 
I'd like to know 1,000 years before hand...but assuming that's not allowed I'd go for a week; say my good-byes.
 
57 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
59 Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”
61 And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Luke 9:57-62 NKJV
 
It doesn't matter the day or the hour as I am ready anytime. The important thing is to always be about our Father's business until that day comes.

We have all already been warned !
Our deaths are imminent.
 
As fun as it is to play with speculation/hypothetical I would ask "thank you lord but I need chapter and verse for this".
